Believing in God, the only One, and loving him with all our being has enormous consequences for our whole life. It means coming to know God’s greatness and majesty: “Behold, God is great, and we know him not.” Therefore, we must “serve God first.” It means living in thanksgiving: if God is the only One, everything we are and have comes from him: “What have you that you did not receive?”“What shall I render to the Lord for all his bounty to me?”
— Catechism of the Catholic Church, (Articles 222-224). -

Welcome to Parking Lot Masses
If you pictured parking lot Masses at Our Lady of Malibu parish as long lines to get in and longer delays to get out, you would be mistaken. Due to excellent planning by the staff and efficient execution by the volunteers, the drive-in Masses at OLM are the next best thing to live gatherings in church. Just exchanging a smile and a wave with our OLM brothers and sisters helps keep us connected. And, above all, we are able to receive the Eucharist with minimum exposure to the dangers of Covid19.
Guaranteed admission, however, is on a reservation basis because we are limited to 35 vehicles, so please go to the Reserve Mass page for registeration links and more information on the procedure. Remember, you must re-register each week.
Public Address System
Although the school outdoor speakers are functioning, you may want to listen to the service over your car radio. Tune in to 87.9 FM with car engine off. Thanks Peter!

Outreach Ministry's "Move Hearts" Program
OLM’s role is to help families make the transition from TLC temporary housing to permanent housing. We start by getting to know the family through TLC zoom meetings, assessing their needs, (furniture, clothing, food & supplies) and acting as their “moving and settle-in” team.
The next planned move from temporary to permanent housing of our latest client, a mother with a newborn daughter and a son. They planned the move the first week of December. Unfortunately her apartment application was denied, so she begins again looking & applying for an apartment. That pushes the Move-in date back a few weeks.
If you are purchasing/ have purchased a gift card for this family, There is still time to drop it off at the Rectory or at parking lot Mass.

UPDATE: The TLC house is down to three clients because they needed to tent the house for termites. The house will fill back up to 8 families, so the new year will be busier.
Let's use this time to expand our network of helpers, work on other ideas for gathering home items. When our families are ready to move, we need to work fast!

Mexico Mission Youth Report 4/11/21
Each year the Oblates are able to provide roofs for many houses thanks to grants like the ones we receive from Serving Hands International. This year our engineer and previous youth group leader,
Luis Zapeda, has been administering the program, lining up a crew and keeping the work site supplied with materials. Luis uses his own truck without charge. Last week he had to put in a clutch at his expense. The roofs can help more than you may think. In addition to providing work for people that need some temporary employment a new roof can affect life stories.
